In order to get my editor form out of a search loop. I moved the RTE into place by absolute position.

Unfortunately the "dropdowns" for Font and Size are now out of position. How do I adjust the absolute positions for the Font and Size boxes?

Thanks.

There is some javascript that detects where the button is located on the page and places the drop down just below that position.

So in this case the absolute position throws that off. Any suggestions?

Do you know what file has the javascript?

Thanks much!

Got it. I found out the hard way, it's easier to bump down the RTE include using a blank.gif without absolute positioning.

Then, I moved the rest of the form up via absolute positioning at layer -1.

That way the dropdowns work normally.
